#528: Python apps with LLM building blocks

In this episode, I’m talking with Vincent Warmerdam about treating LLMs as just another API in your Python app, with clear boundaries, small focused endpoints, and good monitoring. We’ll dig into patterns for wrapping these calls, caching and inspecting responses, and deciding where an LLM API actually earns its keep in your architecture.
